What Is Care1st Health Plan Arizona?

Care1st is a health plan that works through AHCCCS, Arizona’s Medicaid program. They provide affordable (often free) health coverage to people who qualify based on income, disability, age, or family status.

Care1st covers both physical and behavioral health services—including treatment for:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • PTSD
  • Substance use
  • Bipolar disorder
  • And other mental health conditions

At Bella Vida TMS, we work closely with Care1st to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care to Arizona residents with Medicaid coverage.

What Mental Health Services Are Covered by Care1st at Bella Vida TMS?

These Treatments May Be Fully Covered Under Your Plan:

TMS Therapy — Covered for Treatment-Resistant Depression

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is an FDA-approved therapy for people with major depressive disorder who haven’t improved with medication.

It works by gently stimulating the part of the brain that controls mood—without drugs or invasive procedures.

✅ Care1st covers TMS therapy for eligible patients with prior authorization.

TMS is:

  • Medication-free
  • Non-invasive
  • Done in short sessions (18–30 minutes)
  • Effective for many people who’ve tried everything else

We handle the paperwork and approvals so you can focus on healing.

Spravato® (Esketamine) — Covered with Pre-Approval

Spravato® is a fast-acting nasal spray used to treat severe depression or suicidal thoughts. It’s only available at approved medical clinics like Bella Vida TMS.

✅ Care1st covers Spravato® for members with treatment-resistant depression, when authorized in advance.

We are a REMS-certified clinic, which means we meet strict safety standards to provide this innovative therapy.

Talk Therapy — Covered by Care1st Behavioral Health

At Bella Vida TMS, we believe talking is a powerful tool for healing. We offer therapy sessions with licensed professionals to help you:

  • Process trauma
  • Manage anxiety
  • Cope with loss or grief
  • Improve relationships
  • Build emotional strength

✅ Care1st covers individual and family therapy sessions.

Our team will match you with the right provider and confirm your coverage before your first visit.

Medication Management — Provided by NPs and Covered by Care1st

Our nurse practitioners (NPs) specialize in psychiatric medication management. They help you find the right meds, adjust doses, and monitor side effects.
